Better - ATEEZ

Chapter 18

"Eonnie, we need a change of plan, I get everything now. Lets start the operation"

Courts are busy places and there are only so many days available for the court to hear cases. A judge's calendar fills up quickly. Civil court trials take longer and are typically set for trial a year or 18 months after being filed. Criminal trials are set sooner since the defendant has a right to a speedy trial.

There wasn't a suspect and any evidence that leads to the murder case in their reunion or the mysterious death of Min Haein. The case had to be postponed until the officers in charge had a lead on the suspect or it would be closed.

Jung Wooyoung ran. He didn't even know who was chasing him but he did know that they were not friendly. All he wanted was to take a walk in the forest and clear his mind but to his dismay, he was being followed and ended up being their prey. Rumors going around saying how the devil himself kill each of the Mundo High School students for all their wrong doings did infact reached his ears as well.

But the said devil, it was a man, a cruel one. He pants and gasps for air and stop running, holding his knees for support and barely open his eyes due to the sunlight shining directly above him.

"Its your time now Wooyoung"

Wooyoung didn't fear the man but was more shocked and discusted.

"Why the hell are you doing all these? Did you kill all of our classmates?", he spat and look at the man in front of him in hatred.

"They should've kept their mouth to themselves. And they simply paid the price"

"Why? Just Why?"

"I've already commit too many sins to stop now aren't I?"

Before Wooyoung could answer him, he was hit on the head and was knock out fully. The traitor tied him up and put him in his shoulder and went down the hills.

Reaching a wooden house a few miles away, he open the cabin and chain the poor man who was still unconscious into the room.

"I need you to stay here until the case is declared a failure. Until I am free"

The figure went of the house and lock from outside and went into his own car and then drove off leaving behind his friend.

Semi pace back and forth in her room after not being able to find the file she had hid for the longest time. In there, she had all of her lifetime research and hard works which she had kept it safe and might need it someday.

It was time to leave for her work and her phone has been ringing like crazy from her co-workers but she didn't care. She sigh in frustration and grab her hair.

"I swear I kept it there!", she cup and face and sit down on the ground and then think again whether she had change the location of the most important file in her entire life. Without it, it was likely that she might lose all of her fortune, her works and her sanity. And she was not someone who would forget where she kept her important things either.

With a frustrating grump, she stood up and walk towards the stack and check every corner again. She was close to giving up when she found a sparkling thing hanging on the side of one of her clothes.

It doesn't belongs to her, infact she knew very who it belongs to. She close her mouth in a straight line and then look foreword and stare blankly at the photo on the table next to her bed.

"You couldn't stop being obvious aren't you?", she chuckle dryly and held the bracelet so tightly that it cut her hand from the stars decoration in them.
